<h2><A NAME="category"></A>:: Create the vehicles categories</h2>

	<li> create a category named 'Car'
	<li> create a subcategory named 'Dacia Sandero'

car-cost report window from the <A HREF="04wall.html">wallet dialog</A>.
</P>

<h2><A NAME="transactions"></A>:: Fill some transaction with carcost data's</h2>
<p>
A carcost transaction for refuel must include in its description:
</p>
<ul>
	<LI>d=xxxxxx the odometer at refuel time
	<LI>v=xx.xx  the volume of fuel
</ul>

<P>
Affect the category to all of your transactions for a vehicle, this includes refuel, maintenance, repair, insurance, or others.

</P>
<ul>
	<li>'(d=92458 v=15.41)'
	<li>'d=92458, v=15.41'
